A NEW club for people with breathing difficulties will be launched in Chippenham next week.

The North Wilts and Devizes Breathe Easy Group will start the new Chippenham club with a social event at the Goldney Avenue Health Centre on Wednesday September 25 at 1.30pm.

Sue Reynolds, manager of the British Lung Foundation, and Barbara Smith, chief executive designate of the Kennet and North Wiltshire Primary Healthcare Trust, will be attending the event.

The Breathe Easy afternoon will give people suffering breathing difficulties and their carers the chance to meet, chat and enjoy a cup of tea.

There will also be a raffle, cake stall and bring and buy stall, for which donations are welcome.

Breath Easy Groups are affiliated to the British Lung Foundation.

They were set up to provide information about lung diseases to sufferers and their carers and to give support to both.
